Always enjoyed your vids. I’ve been a huge admirer of the 31CB and Ranger overall; I’ve watched a ton of these vids. You are THE ONLY ONE that has ever flipped the captains chair forward to show that the countertop extends underneath. This has been a major annoyance with other reviewers, and just goes to show Captain Steve pays attention. 👏🏻👏🏻

thanks for the feedback. I'll keep an eye on that moving forward. And thanks for watching.

This has been my #1 choice for a boat for years. Just stash away a few hundred thousand more dollars. Capt. Steve, you do a fantastic job.

Been wanting to do this for years.

The galley actually has two sinks. The other one is under the moveable cutting board.

At the 3:10 mark, what you're witnessing, is Capt. Steve's signature seated position. And if there's one thing that draws me to this lifestyle, it's that. I so desperately want to be fully provisioned, fully fueled, and seated in that position as the miles tick away at 8 knots an hour as I head over the horizon.

Did not know ai had a signature position. But I 100% agree with your plan on cruising to the horizon. Thanks for watching.

" 8 knots an hour" It's just "8 knots." A knot is one nautical mile per hour. "8 nautical miles per hour per hour" would be a measure of acceleration, not of speed.

Great video Capt Steve, thank you! I bought a new Ranger Tug R-31 CB in 2020 and couldn't be happier. I downsized from a 43' trawler but wanted a vessel with all the amenities of my bigger boat. While some people may think the price tag is too high, all I can say is do your homework. This boat like most other Ranger Tugs comes standard with features that are either optional or not available in other boats of this size and genre. They include both bow and stern thrusters with joy sticks at both stations & wireless remote, Raptor Decking, a comprehensive Garmin electronics suite at both stations (Radar, GPS, Chart-plotter, AIS, Auto-pilot, etc.), solar panel, trim tabs, two refrigerators or one refrigerator & one ice-maker, sink in cockpit, TWO TVs, Fusion stereo system in all cabins, big stove & oven, double sink, diesel heater & forced air furnace, underwater lights, premium countertops, plus lots more. All of these items including the premium electronics/nav package are factory installed, NOT dealer added. I optioned for air conditioning, diesel generator, dingy with Weaver Davit system, etc. My conclusion is that this boat represents a lot of value for the money. Although this boat is trailerable, I do not trailer mine but have been all over Long Island Sound with it, coastal CT, RI, and MA. Wonderful boat!

the owner had a heart attack, which apparently makes you reevaluate your life. So the whole company got shut down. Boom. So now I'm making my own videos now. I should have done this years ago too.
